It’s true what they say: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! As a working mom with 3 small children, I have to make sure I take care of myself. Having a good breakfast is especially important on those days when I feel like I don’t have time to make one. My blueberry breakfast smoothie is seriously easy to make, and it’s got lots of nutrition to keep me going on long days.  

I’m not on a low-carb diet by any means, but one thing I’ve learned is that protein is essential to keeping me energized throughout the day. Breakfast can so often be a meal of empty carbs: muffins, bagels, coffee… But add in a protein and it’s much better for you! 

Milk Meets Our Nutritional Needs

With 3 children under 5, milk is a staple for our family. My little ones are still growing, and milk is a great source of calcium, potassium and vitamin D. These are nutrients that their little bodies need to grow big and strong. How else could they be filled with energy at 8:00 at night? Clearly, this is the best time of the day (night?) for making cardboard box race cars. 

A cardboard box: Endless entertainment.

Our fridge is always stocked with milk because of the my kids, and also because it is the perfect protein for a frugal family. Dairy milk protein is a complete protein, which means that it has all the amino acids we need for a balanced diet. One gallon of milk easily feeds the 6 of us, and costs about a quarter per serving for the little guys.  

The Littles are Milk-Obsessed

All 3 of my little ones love milk. They get a kick out of getting a glass of milk and exclaiming at how cold it is. On a hot day, it just hits the spot. Milk is the top food source for nutrients that are most likely missing from some kids’ – diets (calcium and vitamin D, among others). An 8 ounce glass of milk contains 8 grams of protein, so milk is a simple, affordable way to help my family get the natural protein and balanced nutrition they need. Find more milk recipes and inspiration at MilkLife.com!

What if you could give your kids a nutrient-rich, delicious, farm fresh beverage with natural protein and no sugar added – all for about a quarter per serving? Surprise – it’s something that’s likely already in your fridge – white milk!

The Milk-Based Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie blueberry breakfast smoothie made with milk

Our family enjoys cereal with milk, and I do too. But some days it’s nice to change things up a bit. As much as I’d love to make a hot breakfast every morning, we’re usually blasting out the door to school and work. There’s just not time for that. I have a simple solution though. A blueberry breakfast smoothie packs protein and antioxidants, plus lots of vitamins, all in one quickly devoured beverage! This recipe uses about 6 ounces of milk, which is about 6 ounces of protein. You should make sure that you’re getting your daily servings of protein based on your age and body weight.
